Banner is described as "A compressed history of US expansionism by way of some well-known cultural icons."1

"Working backwards, the distinctive red stripes of Sydney's Coca Cola sign and REagan's Star Wars policy must have inspired that original star-spangled banner worked out by Betsy Ross and George Washington on a clear Philadelphia night in 1776."2
